Sure but now could be a pivot point. These third party developers that are closing their apps could band together around a vanilla knock off if one could roll out a knock off like yet another Django app. Thinking of forum apps like https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/forum/ https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/forum/ Social wise, I imagine there are controls to steer how the site allows new content.
